This is a story loosely based around the first DnD campaign I ever created.
War is brewing in the land of Faaralia, as Fluratus, the kingdom of the volcano, prepares something sinister. However, a seasoned hunter and archer, Markkus Yearling, runs a meat supply company in the beautiful city of Vita, in the kingdom of Vitalia, passed down to him by his late father, and has no care for the conflicts of the land. His life is fairly ordinary, even with his nightly visits to the tavern, which he enjoys, keeping himself on task and on schedule and occasionally going hunting outside of the city walls. His true destiny, however, is revealed to him soon after he meets the half-elf Aila Greenwood, who helps him discover a path that he had never dreamed would open to him, meeting many more friends and enemies along the way.

that one SWURD
Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)
